      Hi. I’ve got really bad ocd intrusive thoughts and think I’m unbalanced. I never make the right decisions and was actually forced to take early retirement from my last job, I think that I was wrecking the work environment for everybody because of my ocd. And now I regret it because I realise that to have a good work life balance, it is better to keep working, and fight intrusive thoughts every day. It’s better to stay with an unbearable situation like my work, then to give up because of ocd. It has broken me, and now I worry I’ll end up going on a psych ward. My mental health is really fragile, and and now I’ve broken it, I think it’ll take years of recovery to get my old self back.
